Do I take her to a romantic restaurant, take her to a flashback of our first date, take her to where we first met. Ah! I don’t know!

“Hey I didn’t catch your name!”
“My name is Bill. You know not much people would stop and talk to me.” I smiled back. Maddie was walking towards us with the bag of food in one hand. She handed the food to Bill and he graciously took it. “Thank you!”
“Your welcome. Do you want to get you a homeless shelter? I can call in.”
“Yes, please. But only if its not wasting your time.”
“It’s no problem!” I took my phone out of my pocket and began to dial the homeless shelter. I paced around the alley hoping they would say there is a spot. While Maddie and Bill looked at me trying to read the results out of my facial expression. I ended the phone conversation and put the phone back in my pocket. “THERE IS A SPOT FOR YOU BILL!” I said with excitement. Maddie and Bill’s face lit up as I told them the news. “Hey, Bill pack your stuff, I’ll drive you there!” Maddie got into the car as I waited in the alley for Bill to pack.

    The moment I looked out the window of the car and my eyes turned to the row of homeless people weaving its way through the traffic begging for money, I jumped out of my seat. It was my first visit to India after leaving the country for the United States. The homeless people's’ hands were making weird gestures and thumping the windows of the honking cars. I could not digest what I was seeing! While reaching out to an old woman to give her some money, I thought about what non homeless people could do to help those without a home and basic needs.
